Dorgali is located right at the beginning of the climb to Genna Silana, along an awesome route: the legendary SS125!

Distance 90kmClimb 2000mt
from Lanusei to Orroli
Today is the King of the mountain! We cross the heart of Ogliastra surrounded by the beauty of this wild nature, here the action of erosion of the river and its tributaries have carved deep valleys creating bizarre rock formations, known as "Tacchi", plateaus rising on high walls of white limestone, which make unique landscapes in this beautiful corner of Sardinia. The canyon that closes the lake Flumendosa anticipates the arrival to the plateau of Orroli, a town symbol of longevity in Sardinia.DAY 6

from Orroli to Villasimius
After a short stretch on the plateau, dominated by the wonderful megalithic complex of Nuraghe Arrubiu, we go down along a descent into the valley of the Flumendosa ending by the sea in Muravera. The lagoons inhabited by pink flamingos and rare birds, lines the countryside and some of the most generous citrus groves of Sardinia, give way to the charm of the coast and the fabulous beaches of the Marine Park of Capo Carbonara in Villasimius: a real paradise of white sandy beaches and emerald water!DAY 7

from Villasimius to Cagliari
The route from Villasimius to Cagliari is a fun itinerary of continuous up and down in an impressive succession of cliffs and beaches, granite hills and ancient Spanish towers. It will be really difficult to resist the temptation to take a dip in one of the many beaches and crystal water: Porto Sa Ruxi, Solanas, Torre delle Stelle, Geremeas, Mari Pintau, Cala Regina and finally the Poetto, where we take a nice cycling path along the beach until Cagliari port.
